🙌We would like to share an update from Norma our Development Worker🙌 👇🏻

“I won’t be far away — just cheering you on from a slightly different vantage point.”

As we held our AGM this week, it felt like a fitting moment to reflect on a busy and inspiring period for Angus Tourism Cooperative — and for me personally, as this was my last AGM in my role.

Here’s just a snapshot of what we’ve been involved in:
🎶 DD8 Music Showcase – An incredible event celebrating young people making music, DJing and performing. So much creativity and confidence on display — the future is bright.

🇫🇷 📚 Time at Forfar Academy as part of the Excelerate programme, working with pupils studying French and exploring the importance of languages in welcoming visitors. A great reminder that tourism is about communication, culture and making people feel at home.

🎓 Launch of the Tay Cities Hospitality Skills Project at the University of St Andrews – a significant step forward in developing clear, supported career pathways within our hospitality and tourism sector.

🚲 A 1:1 catch-up with Rewaco Trikes – a forward-thinking, resilient local business that continues to innovate and add something truly unique to the Angus visitor experience. Rewaco Trikes Scotland Ltd

🖼️ The opening of Angus Alive’s “Perspectives: Collecting the World” exhibition – a powerful reminder of how culture, heritage and global stories connect through local spaces.

🤝 And of course, our AGM and networking session – bringing members together to reflect on progress, strengthen connections and look ahead to what’s next.

It has been a privilege to support such passionate businesses, partners and young people who care deeply about tourism in Angus. Collaboration, creativity and community remain at the heart of everything the Cooperative does.

While this chapter closes, I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together — and excited to see Angus Tourism Cooperative continue to thrive.
